    Summary

    Lando Norris had a Michelin-starred life in London, until his grandma’s will yanked him back to the middle-of-nowhere town he’d escaped. The catch? She left her struggling waffle shop 50/50 to him… and to Oscar Piastri.

    Oscar. The hot, petty baker next door who’s been his childhood enemy since the Great Kangaroo Incident of 2005 (a misunderstanding, for the record). Now, thanks to a clause only a chaotic grandma would write, they’re stuck running the place together.

    It’s a disaster.

    Oscar thinks Lando’s a pretentious city boy who abandoned his roots. Lando thinks Oscar’s a judgemental hermit who seasons everything with spite.

    Their only common ground is a mutual desire to win the town’s annual holiday thing—mostly so they can gloat over each other.

    Between fighting over batter consistency and who gets to use the good mixer, they’ve got twelve days to turn this mess around. But as grudges start to thaw faster than frozen blueberries, they might discover that their grandma’s real recipe wasn’t for waffles at all.

    It was for this. Whatever 'this' is.

    Summary

    after the summer festival, yoshiki starts writing down every difference between the dead boy he loved and the thing still wearing his face.

    it’s supposed to help him remember. it’s supposed to keep grief from turning him stupid. instead, it turns into something uglier: a record of every gesture, every almost-touch, every moment hikaru becomes too much like himself or too much like the one yoshiki lost.

    then hikaru finds it.

    and if memory is one kind of violence, being seen back might be another.

    or: yoshiki tries to keep grief and desire in separate boxes and discovers neither of them listens.

    Summary

    Soulmarks are meant to help you find the one—little symbols that show up at eighteen and change colour based on your soulmate’s emotions. Yellow means they’re happy. Blue means they’re sad. Dark gray means they’re probably not feeling anything at all.

    Oscar’s mark doesn’t do that. He has Sentisoma Syndrome—his soulmark glows white and crushes his ribs every time his soulmate so much as thinks about him.

    Meanwhile, Lando’s mark has no time for normal emotions. Just admiration. Longing. And unfortunately, more sexual desire than he knows what to do with.

    They’re teammates.
    It’s going great.
    Except for Oscar’s lungs.

    Summary

    "So, maybe you've found your home here in Gotham. At least it's not that far, compared to Kansas." Bruce's voice is smooth and steady, his tone low.

    It's hard to keep a straight face at that.

    Clark's lips curve into a fond smile as he chuckles and shakes his head, leaning back against his seat, a hand rubbing across the nape of his neck.

    "Yeah. Maybe I have. The coffee's great here. And the company is really nice." Clark offers a smile as he meets Bruce's eyes, holding his gaze for a beat too long before returning it to his pie.

    He doesn't miss the way Bruce's heart rate stutters at his comment.

    --
    Or, Clark Kent can't do one night stands, and Bruce is just his usual human disaster.

    (This story officially ends at Chapter 5.
    Everything after that will be extra chapters, which I'll post whenever I feel like it!)

    Summary

    “Hey, Bruce,” he said tentatively. “You have a lot of casual sex, right?”

    Bruce raised one delicate eyebrow. “Mr. Kent,” he said slowly, amusement curling around the words, “are you calling me easy?”

    (or: Not quite fresh out of a divorce, Clark attempts to have a hot girl summer. It goes well until it doesn't.)
